I'm surprised I couldn't find this mentioned on Apple's website but according to security analysts, Apple TV and Airplay do not allow the collection of data on 3rd party smart TVs.Was wondering the same thing myself. If it's not possible to disable Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, then it's a no go for me. Problem is probably won't be able to find a tv without them going forward.
I hear ya man, I have an LG 32" fhd smart TV in my bedroom on a rotating wall mount, it fits perfectly and I just don't know what to replace it with when the time comes.not read the article, but can i get it 32", why can i not buy any "good" small TVs 😢
This is precisely why I will continue to use Apple TV. My LG OLED has the WiFi turned off and is never connected to the internet. I updated it when I first got it and then blacklisted the MAC address in my router settings so even if the WiFi does get turned on again it won’t be able to communicate. There’s literally no good reason for TVs to to “phone home.” Frankly stuff like that should be illegal.Was wondering the same thing myself.

I bought a Sony that had the Apple TV app, and never use it. It seems easier to use the actual Apple TV that I have. Airplay works on it better too. (Well, and I don't know if this TV supports Airplay) But this is probably just me, but I imagine that a lot of people that have Apple TV's won't be using the add-ons now built-in, but I suppose those that son't will use it. *shrug* I hopw it works well...
If a TV supports the Apple TV app, will it inherently also support Airplay?

Nothing on Sony TV's? Figures...

Good question. I believe they do something similar to Samsung, which is just insane. They screenshots everything you do and send it back to their serversHow is LG when it comes to data collection of its smart TVs? Can you disable the smarts (mic, watching habbits, data collection, etc), but keep the HomeKit/Airplay integration?
Then get a monitor maybe?I don't want a "smart" TV. No built in Mics, Cameras, or built-in internet/tracking SW.
I want a dumb TV that I can plug into my Apple TV and run airplay that way. I'll take my chances with JUST Apple spying on me.
Quite a jump in price from the 55 to the 65. Did you mean 2,599? Wish someone would make an Airplay 2 HDMI stick or something.
I learned a long time ago, avoid the summer tv line up and buy the fall line up. Any issues with the tech, usually gets fixed in the fall edition. Summer tv’s are basically hit or miss with new technology. Only buy on clearance or as a last choice.

No point to have 8K now. And by the time its needed those tvs will be super cheap. So yeah, this is just an exercise

when are they going to start offering larger sizes, 86 inch is too small, lets see some 90+ inch models at a reasonable price.
If more manufacturers adopt AirPlay, HomeKit and ATV support, I wonder how that will affect the sales of the ATV over time. If devices already have that functionality built into them, why buy a separate box?
That still exists for 4K. It’s not like 4K is suddenly 1080p and therefore some bargain basement device. Especially for higher-end devices like LG’s OLED lineup.Of course that's part of what you are buying with an 8K TV -- a bundle of today's best available tech for improving the image. You're getting the best colors, the best latency, the best upscaling, the best audio, that's available from each company...
Sorry, 48” not 43” Introduced for this season but not out quite yet. Due in June.
Not vapourware. Real retail product has been demo’d, not just prototypes.
Too bad it wasn’t released a while back. I desparately wanted a high end 48” TV for my living room cabinet, preferably with wide viewing angles. OLED would have been perfect. 49” VA panels were just a smidge too big and the viewing angles aren’t great, and the next size down was 43”. However almost all of the 43” models were IPS, because people use them as computer monitors or gaming monitors. I ended up buying an IPS 43” TV for that room. That 48” OLED would fit that cabinet perfectly.

Probably similar to getting a "good" small car...not so much money to be made for the manufacturer. I'm with you though, I've no need for 80" TV in my living room.
I just recently had to replace a 32" that died. Smallest 4k for a sensible price I could find was 43". Fortunately it fits the space vertically (this was the primary constraint) and just overhangs the edge more which we can live with. But I agree: can we have some smaller 4K quality TVs please!

theres no way its meant to compete with OLED's, right?
This is just a nicer Low end LED option?
If this can download the Plex app, then I’m buying a 65” ASAP. Anybody know if LG TVs can download Plex?
